once loaded with an image, it needs the magic files putting on mate watch this Digital Kaos - - How to set up a dreambox (http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/vbtube_show.php?do=tube&tubeid=294&t=26780)
The image is not what opens the channels if you do a factory reset it would delete the keys and roms, the image from what was on when you had it working was fine it just needed the files back on mate

ive put that on mate but still no joy i got sent the commando image and he said it would have everything on it only thing i cud think of is that the coxial cable is not in the cable in lead but i wunt have fort tht wudda made a difference because i had it plugged in earlier and it was still cummin bck as same ip

[wilf]

its an open media right? so it has four connectors on the back for sat and cable they are usually all marked input cab or sat the bottom two for cable, also there is a switch next to these that says c or s it must be on c if setting up cable side. are you also sure its an ethernet cable and not a cross overcable?
